JESUS IS LORD. ALWAYS!

Our troubles are temporary

"Our troubles are slight or short-lived, and their outcome is an eternal glory which far outweighs them, provided our eyes are fixed, not on the things that are seen, but on the things that are unseen; for what is seen is transient, what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4: 17)

Our delays, trials, disappointments though slight and temporary are nevertheless preparing us for an eternal joy. Fix your eyes on Christ and his grace and offer up your sufferings in union with his sufferings for our redemption.

Are things created in pair and opposites?

  • Temporary – eternal
  • Visible - invisible
  • Trouble - glory
  • Transitory - permanent
  • Suffering - joy
  • Present - future
  • Cross - crown
  • Trouble - triumph
